    First look (video) of the new movie!

    If Disney went all out making figures, plushes and merch for virtually every character seen in Toy Story 3(with the exception of Miyazaki's Totoro), just imagine what they *may* do for this. I myself am taken aback by how serious and well researched this whole thing is. Imagine the...

    New Pics: Jason Segel and the Muppets at the L.A. movie set

    My guess is that it's a newly created bad guy Muppet, and that the Uncle Deadly rebuild is for cameo scenes. Uncle Deadly as a bad guy henchmen is a cool idea, just not sure they're referring to him. Plus I picture him more in a tux for the el capitan scene.

    2011 Muppet Movie plot officially announced

    Bro...there is no excuse for seeing a film like Yogi Bear. I could barely make it through the trailer, and wouldnt even waste my bandwidth downloading it. But I know you do like your classic cartoons and keep up with how the modern versions are handled. I woulda seen Tron Legacy; that...

    2011 Muppet Movie plot officially announced

    There's a perfect HD scan of Muppet Vision 3d on youtube someone stuck on there not long ago for those who havent seen it. Its funny how they specifically make fun of doing 3d gimmick stuff coming at you. The problem with 3d is that the effect and "wow" factor wears off after awhile. The...

    D23 Expo: Muppet news and happenings

    Ha, I just got that. That's nicely esoteric, strange to think the Muppets have now been around for a whopping 56 years.

    What if the New Muppet Movie's Villain had a Muppet Sidekick?

    In an odd way I kind of like both the 1988 and 1993 play along videos. JHC was definitely trying to find their webbing during that 93' period. Oddly, I think some of the best Muppet productions were in the final years of Henson's life. Pepe merchandise(as far as toys), there was the several...

    First look (video) of the new movie!

    Are they filming scenes in this movie out of order? Or did they really finish up the bulk of production(with the exception of the obligatory pickups here and there) Holy tamole Thog is massive. He looks like he's about 16 feet. Was he this big in the Valentine's special and TMS? Let's see...

    The Muppets Tonight Toys That Almost Happened

    Randomly found this article from Toy Fair 1996. It looks like there was a bunch of toys to coincide with Muppets Tonight and Muppet Treasure Island(as well as for Aliens in the Family) This was back when Muppets Tonight was being called "Muppets On Air"(after it was tentatively titled Muppets...

    New Pics: Jason Segel and the Muppets at the L.A. movie set

    Remember, there's going to be a LOT of surprise cameos we won't know about til we see the movie. Some people I'm so hoping cameo, or think would be perfect: Robert Downey Jr, Seth Rogen, Jesse Eisenberg, Steve Carrel, Jim Parsons, Patton Oswalt, Kevin James, and Chirstopher Walken I actually...

    New Pics: Jason Segel and the Muppets at the L.A. movie set

    I thought the film did focus on Jason, Amy and "Walter"? I'm torn as I'd love for Kermit and the gang to be the main players, yet the whole premise of the film is quite meta-delicious to play with

    LA Times Interview With Kermit!

    Ha, more proof that there is NO Muppet canon, and that all Muppets(TMS, Sesame, Fraggle, etc) are simply actors. Good interview though. I can just picture Kermit in a more serious scene, and have always wondered what the Muppets would be like in a drama. Also the Piggy-weight comment...I have...

    What if the New Muppet Movie's Villain had a Muppet Sidekick?

    Well I didn't mean disrespect to fans more rooted in the "classic" stuff(TMS and the original movies) or what I call "purely BJHD" rooted(pre jim henson's death) There are those that seem to emphasize how the Muppets died creatively in 1990. And it's true, the Muppets did seem to flounder a bit...

    2011 Muppet Movie plot officially announced

    Not sure why people would think a 3d Muppets film would at all take away business from the 20 year old MV3d attraction. To me this makes little sense. However, I am beyond sick of the "3d" thing. Especially the post conversion stuff. Very very few films even look good or "work" in 3d"...

    D23 Expo: Muppet news and happenings

    Ha, silly...D23 is the name of the club, and I'm guessing the umbrella code word for anyone into Disneyana. Tho given literally every woman over the age of 45 in America collects Disney stuff, I guess there's a lot of Disneyana fans I'm not a Disney geek in the least. I like visiting...

    Is Muppets Going To Marvel Kids?

    Let's face it, the sudden inexplicable halt of Pixar and Muppet titles under the Boom imprint can only mean one thing: These hot properties are going to go under the Marvel Kids brand. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if we'll get an official press release before Wondercon in April. Not since...

    Theories why Bear came to an end

    I feel Sesame Street is quality. I know some(including those in a somewhat unofficial Sesame Workshop capacity) feel annoyed by Murray Monster's sudden rise to Sesame fame(yet there's zero merchandise or anything for him as of yet), but it's nowhere like Elmo proportions.(I've made my piece...

    What if the New Muppet Movie's Villain had a Muppet Sidekick?

    The film's central theme and plot is about how the public at large has turned their back on the Muppets. Although it won't say it directly, it's pretty much about how the public thinks the Muppets died with Jim Henson, and has been a lost cause nostalgia trip that's long had it's day. In the...

    New Pics: Jason Segel and the Muppets at the L.A. movie set

    I prefer Joan Rivers over Kathy Griffin...would rather see Rivers cameo anyday!(I bring that up as I know Rivers and Griffin had this oddball feud over the years)
